  • 1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes).
  • 2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0870 707 1690 or you may photocopy this form.

  • 3. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
  • 4. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's articles of association and Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and

vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the register of members of the Company at 6.00pm on 5th September 2014 (or, in the event of an adjournment, by 6.00pm on the date which is two days before the stated time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day)). Changes to entries on the Company's register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
